Job description:
FundApps is a startup that helps investment managers comply with worldwide regulation. Our competition is stuck in the dark ages when it comes to software development. We think that practices like continuous delivery, agile development and aiming for craftsmanlike coding make a difference.We've already grown a stellar customer base for our product Rapptr, despite our small size (8 of us right now) - but we’re most excited about the challenges that lie ahead. We want to keep learning, have the freedom to innovate and make mistakes – all in the name of delivering better experiences for customers.

Requirements:
You'll be part of a team that cares passionately about delivering a great product and quality software. Our goal is to let you do your best work. You'll be empowered to make choices and trusted to get things done.You'll care about your craft and have a hunger to learn new skills and improve your existing ones. While we have .NET at the core of our stack, we're pragmatic about other technologies and open-minded about your technology background. The main thing is you're excited about technology and extremely keen to learn.You enjoy collaborating as part of a team but can also be left to get stuck into problems on your own.What will I be working on?You'll be able to get hands on across the whole stack - from front end design and UI (Javascript, AngularJS) to automating infrastructure (chef, puppet, teamcity, octopus) and tweaking back-end message processing (RabbitMQ, C#, F#). Some of the challenges we're tackling right now include:UI. We're head and shoulders above our competitors, but have a long way to go to evolve our user experience.Data. Our customers are growing, the amount of data they're sending us is growing. How can we deal with the increasing volume of data, and what tools can we build to get more insights into it.Architecture. We're breaking out our components into standalone services. By doing so, we're shifting the complexity from individual components to the communication between them.Automated infrastructure. We're preparing for a full switch to AWS from a hybrid cloud model. We've automated a lot of our infrastructure but largely with our old friend PowerShell (yes, Windows. We know. Sorry).Security. How can we ensure we exceed the highest security expectations of our customers, particularly with the shift to AWS?Prioritisation. What do you build, how much do you build, when do you build it? Our on-going challenge as a small team who want to be responsive to customers whilst staying laser focused on our goal.Our current technology stackWe use the best tools for the job and you'll have full input into what our stack evolves into.Our current tech &amp; tools: C#, #URL_01a736d89d2f0b19de700923d2c312837e180465650804d0f84105352812bf9a# MVC, jQuery, RabbitMQ, TeamCity, Octopus, Splunk, Nancy, OWIN, F#, Angular, SQL Server, Azure, AWS, NCrunch, ReSharper, MSpec, SpecFlow, Selenium, Gulp &amp; GitHubWe’re currently evaluating: Puppet, Redis, Cassandra, HAProxy, Jasmine, RavenDb, EventStore, Mongo, NodeJS
